Things have been really busy and I just haven't had a lot of time (okay, any) to log in and say hello! (Sorry about that.)

Perhaps I need to grab a glass of wine and scroll back up a bit...

InkyCatz!!!!! Welcome Back!! Yeah!!!!!

Also, wine from the wootoff has supposedly shipped, but the tracking number still just shows "shipping info received". Unfortunately the estimated delivery date (for the Noceto at least) is tomorrow, and I won't be home... need to change delivery to fedex store front, but don't have that option since it's not actually in the system.

You're seeing the electronic info where the winery tells FedEx some stuff is coming. You should see the info update in the next day or two. Remember wine shipments take 2-3 weeks so allow extra time. We're not even one week past the woot-off yet.

Oh, hai guys and gals.

Howdy!

and... yes, I realize that is what often happens. I was also surprised that the tracking info showed up last Thursday (for the Noceto. The others showed up today). Regardless, I just hope I don't get a missed delivery notice.

The game where you try to fit three 3L bottles, 3 magnums, 3 full shipping boxes, and 4 to 5 regular case boxes (plus assorted suitcases, wine paraphernalia, etc.) into a Scion xB.

You too can play it on the road.

Just got back from dinner and a visit to my cellar. Hurried visits in the past couple of months had my Cellar tracker way out of date. I took the time this time to store my new terra Bella and Wellington victory properly as well as get everything back up to date. Another plus is that I am back down to my goal number of bottles (300 plus my tawnies) after being several cases over recently.

I figure that if everything is logged properly, it can be found and then consumed. I don't want to be one of these people who lets it get so out of date that I don't know where anything is and therefore can't drink any of it. ;-)

Hey Kyle, is it us, or does it seem like there are more ID-10-T's on the main threads lately?

Latest one has been a member of Woot since 2004, but doesn't seem to know that Thursday (Wed 10 pm PT) offers are non-wine. Waddams Threatens Fire?

At least most of those prior to this past year seemed to have intelligent questions for the most part. Or maybe it's just Old-Timer's kicking in.

Zactly. Not like non wine Thursday is a new thing. I mostly ignore Thursdays given that its either a bauble I shouldn't buy or food I shouldn't get the calories from. Especially since the wine is already 600-700 cal/ bottle.

Bueler?

I used to be able to stalk this thread all the time and get tons of laughs or interesting reads!

I'm jealous of everyone's little D&D jaunt last week. Sounds like everyone had a great time. May have to make some plans for next year...hopefully will have made the work move to Orange County by then!

The brandini toffee was tasty earlier this evening though.

I think he's posting to get his wine blog link out there. He's not selling anything so it's within our guidelines.

I would guess his motivations are split. 50% wine blog, 50% trying to be relevant to get Not Labratted

Although, if he was 12 in 2004, he just turned 21 this year.

Edit: Oh, and I heard that his blog is written bio-dynamically. You know, only during a full moon, dancing naked around a bull horn.
